Money gives us access to needs and amenities. Having money for food and water is needed for survival, and we do need that for happiness.

Money can bring us things like a car, cell phone, clothes, a house that can bring us other items we consider needs. This could make us happy, but it's a materialistic sort of happiness. Still we are happy though because we have the items we consider to be important.

Now, we have extra money to buy specific brands and logos for items this can help us gain a status we would like to achieve. This could make us happy, but it is only a temporary fix. Sometimes we can get so caught up in desire that we forget about what we really need as human beings for nurturing of our mind.

People can be rich, but they are unhappy because they might feel lonely. People can be poor, but so happy because they have people who care for them around them. Nothing is more poor that a person who feels unloved and unwanted.

The ultimate happiness we can get is love from each other. That's the biggest riches of all.

Well understood. I doubt the "ultimate happiness" part. lol. Maybe its my nature but I think the ideal for most things is always somewhere in middle. In this case I agree that love (in all its forms and manifestations) definitely brings happiness to lot of people but is it ultimate happines? I am not sure. Its like statistics. The answer/normality always lies somewhere in the middle.

Sorry for the random rant. lol. btw good to see you back. I remeber you were in SRGMP section.

Yes, in a realistic sense, you have to have the balance because we do have to live on this earth until we die. We do need materialistic things and nonmaterialistic things in order to be happy. It's just that I observe more and more that most happiest people are not necessary the most stress-free or richest people, but they have a lot of love to give.

Thanks! I'm active after quite some time! The new season of SRGMP has started, so the musical reality show lover in me has come back. 😆

^ Ok thanks.

Some pearls of wisdom about happiness. I was going through some quotes and liked these

1) Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. (Dale Carnegie)

2) Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city. (George Burns)

3) Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. (Mahatma Gandhi)

4) You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. (Albert Camus)

5) When I was in grade school, they told me to write down what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, I told them they didn't understand life- (Unknown)

6) If you think sunshine brings you happiness, then you haven't danced in the rain. (unknown)

7) If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things. (Albert Einstein)

8) Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling. (Margaret Lee Runbeck)

9) To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all. (Helen Rowland)

10) Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go. (Oscar Wilde)
